THE Oxford Mail player ratings after Oxford United sailed into the third round of the Emirates FA Cup with a 4-1 win against Exeter City.
ED MCGINTY
One good stop to deny Sam Nombe, however a couple of nervy moments including losing sight of the ball from a cross while the score was still 1-0. Recovered though to pounce on the ball before it went over the line – 7
DJAVAN ANDERSON
Mazy runs from right back are adding a new dimension to United when going forward, and further endearing himself to the crowd – 8
ELLIOTT MOORE
A welcome return at the back after an ankle knock ruled him out last weekend – 7.5
STUART FINDLAY
Composed and assured throughout, never looked troubled by the visitors – 7.5
CIARON BROWN
Mr Consistent in this United side, with some solid clearances and interceptions – 7.5

JAMES HENRY
Denied well from a Jamal Blackman double save at the end of the first half – 7.5
MARCUS MCGUANE
Charged forward with ease, brushing players aside at will to get United up the pitch. Has the physical presence and potential to be a real tour de force in the midfield. BOOKED. MAN OF THE MATCH – 8
CAMERON BRANNAGAN
Involved throughout and took his goal superbly well, waiting for the right moment to fire in – 8
JODI JONES
Given a rare opportunity to impress and showed glimpses of his ability with trickery and crosses into the box – 7
MATTY TAYLOR
Lovely finish to open the scoring in what was a solid display up front. BOOKED – 7.5
MARCUS BROWNE
A constant threat when running at defenders, as he won a number of free kicks for United in dangerous areas – 7.5
SUBSTITUTES
Sam Long (for Anderson, 60)
Has a real tussle for the right back slot with Anderson but will relish that battle – 7
Lewis Bate (for Henry, 60)
Bright and creative in the middle of the park when he came on – 7.5
Tyler Goodrham (for Jones, 60)
Full of attacking intent in the final third, and picked up positions in dangerous areas – 7.5
Billy Bodin (for McGuane, 64)
A superb impact off the bench with two well-taken goals, taking his tally to six in his last seven appearances – 8
Gatlin O’Donkor (for Browne, 85)
Unused: Eastwood, Golding, Seddon, Gorrin.
Substitutes who come on after the 75th minute do not get a rating.
